14 important executives have changed positions, and personnel changes in the banking industry are heating up at the beginning of the year.
Age and job changes are the main reasons
Since 2024, executive changes have become a "feature" of the personnel landscape in the banking industry.
On January 16th, PAB announced that Ju Weiping has resigned from the position of Deputy President of the bank due to work reasons. After her resignation, Ju Weiping will no longer hold any positions in the bank or its subsidiaries.
Prior to this, SHRCB, Changsha Bank, Suzhou Bank, CCB, BCQ, Huaxia Bank, and YNCB have successively announced the appointment or departure of senior executives.
Preliminary calculations show that there have been 14 executive announcements of position changes so far this year, making it a small peak in executive changes in the banking industry at the beginning of the year.

On January 9th, Nanjing Bank announced that the relevant meetings of its Board of Directors have agreed to elect Xie Ning as the Chairman of the 10th Board of Directors of Nanjing Bank.
This new "leader" was born in 1976 and has previously served as Deputy Director of the Currency and Credit Management Department of the People's Bank of China Nanjing Branch; Deputy Secretary and Deputy President (in charge of work) of the Party Committee of the People's Bank of China Taizhou City Center Branch, Secretary of the Party Committee and President, and Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Taizhou City Center Branch; Director of the Office of the People's Bank of China Nanjing Branch (Party Committee Office), member of the Party Committee, and Deputy President; and member of the Party Committee and Deputy President of the People's Bank of China Jiangsu Branch.

On January 10th, Everbright Group and Everbright Bank officially announced that Wang Zhiheng, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Executive Director, and President of the bank, has been appointed as the Secretary of the Party Committee of Everbright Bank since December last year.

On January 12th, Guiyang Bank announced that the board of directors had approved the appointment of Yang Xuan as the vice president of Guiyang Bank, He Xin as the chief information officer of Guiyang Bank, and Li Hongqing as the secretary of the board of directors of Guiyang Bank.
Age and job changes are the main reasons for resignation.
BCQ Chairman Lin Jun, Suzhou Bank Assistant President Ren Juguang, and Changsha Bank Vice President Yang Minjia and Chief Auditor Xiang Hong all resigned due to age reasons.
Currently, there are still some management personnel in BCQ and Suzhou Bank who were born in 1965.
In addition to the acting president Zhao Xiaozhong (born in 1965), all the executives of Changsha Bank are at least born after the 1970s. The youngest secretary of the board of directors, Peng Jing'en, was born in 1983.
According to the resume, Peng Jing'en has worked in the Hunan Branch of Bank of China, Changsha Branch of China Minsheng Bank, and Changsha Bank. He has served as the deputy general manager of the Investment Banking Department of Changsha Bank and the president of the Hengyang Branch of Changsha Bank.
CCB Executive Director, Vice President, Member of the Board of Directors Strategic Development Committee, and Member of the Risk Management Committee Cui Yong, and Huaxia Bank Executive Director, President Guan Wenjie; SHRCB Vice President and Secretary of the Board of Directors Yu Minhua resigned due to job transfers.
Talent "within the industry" is flowing.
In terms of the direction of talent flow, the executives who resigned due to job changes are mainly still moving within the banking industry.
It is reported that before Cui Yong formally resigned as vice president, he had served as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of China Everbright Group Co., Ltd.
Guan Wenjie has become the secretary of the Party Committee and the candidate for chairman of Beijing Rural Commercial Bank Co., Ltd.
In addition, according to multiple media reports, after Yu Minhua resigned as vice president and secretary of the board of directors of SHRCB, he will be appointed as the vice president of Shanghai Bank.
